RE2: Oscillator 2 Level

Displayed as:

O2Level

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

0 to 127

This parameter sets the amount of Oscillator 2’s signal present in the overall sound.

RE3: Oscillator 3 Level

Displayed as:

O3Level

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

0 to 127

This parameter sets the amount of Oscillator 3’s signal present in the overall sound.

RE4: Noise Source Level

Displayed as:

NoiseLvl

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

0 to 127

This parameter sets the amount of Noise present in the overall sound.

RE5: Ring Modulator Level (Oscs. 1 * 3)

Displayed as:

RM1*3Lvl

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

0 to 127

In its simplest form, a Ring Modulator is a processing block with two inputs and one output,
which effectively “multiplies” the two input signals together. Depending on the relative
frequencies and harmonic content of the two inputs, the resulting output will contain a
series of sum and difference frequencies as well as the fundamentals. The UltraNova has
two Ring Modulators; both use Oscillator 3 as one input, one combines this with Oscillator
1, the other with Oscillator 2. The Ring Modulator outputs are available as two additional
inputs to the mixer, controlled by

RE5

and

RE6

. The parameter controlled by

RE5

sets the

amount of the Osc. 1 * 3 Ring Modulator output present in the overall sound.

Try the following settings to get a good idea of what a Ring Modulator
sounds like.
On Mixer Menu Page 1, turn down the levels of Oscs 1, 2 & 3 and turn up

RM1*3Lvl

. Then go to the Oscillator Menu page. Set Osc3 to an interval either

+5, +7 or +12 semitones above Osc1 and the sound will be harmonious.
Changing the pitch of Osc 1 to other semitone values creates discordant, but
interesting sounds. O1 Cents can be varied to introduce a ‘beating’ effect.

RE6: Ring Modulator Level (Oscs. 2 * 3)

Displayed as:

RM2*3Lvl

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

0 to 127

The parameter controlled by

RE6

sets the amount of the Osc. 2 * 3 Ring Modulator output

present in the overall sound.

RE7: Pre-FX level send

Displayed as:

PreFXLvl

Initial value:

0dB

Range of adjustment:

-12dB to +18dB

The summed mixer inputs are routed through the FX block (even if no effects are active) at
a level determined by

RE7

. This control should be adjusted with care to avoid overloading

the FX processing.

RE8: Post-FX level return

Displayed as:

PstFXLvl

Initial value:

0dB

Range of adjustment:

-12dB to +12dB

This parameter adjusts the level returned from the output of the FX processor. Thus both

RE7

and

RE8

will alter the signal level even when all FX slots in the FX block are bypassed.

PreFXLvl

and

PstFXLvl

are critical controls and incorrect adjustment can

produce clipping in the FX processing section and elsewhere. It is always a good
idea to set up the FX parameters you think you need irst (in the Effects Menu,
see page 28), and then increase these two parameters carefully until you get the
amount of FX you’re after.

Mixer parameters (Page 2)

The Solo functions on Mixer Menu Page 2 operate just like the Solo buttons on a hardware
(or indeed software) mixer. Activating a Solo lets you listen to that input’s contribution to
the overall sound alone. You can also solo more than one input if you wish, and what you
hear will be the sum of the inputs.

There are two methods of enabling Solo:
touching the appropriate encoder knob(s) enables solo temporarily while the knob is
touched (note that the LCD text does not relect this).
turning the knob activates solo mode until the knob is turned back again.

Solo settings are not saved with the Patch.
